RleIDITY OF THE RULES

Against Invalids and High Livers Who
Visit Carlsbad or Kissingen.
Every one indeed accepts the regimen pre-
scribed, perhaps because it IS unavoidable
At many Of these places the doctors dictate
to the healthy as well as the sick. You can
not, even with money, buy champagne or
cheese or salad, or even butter, or whatever
it is that is forbidden. The prosperity Of the
spa depends upon its success as healing re
sort, and the magistrates would revoke the
license Of any innkeeper who violated the
code. It was amusing to watch the struggles
Of the gourrnets who found their way thither
ignorant Of the rigidity Of the rules. Some
left the day after arriving; others, in earnest
about their own health or that Of q friend,
remained and submitted and grumbled. But
a Sunday in New York, a few weeks ago,
would not be more uncomfortable than Carls-
bad or Kissingen to bon vivant.
The daughter Of a duchess gave card
party, while was at KisSingen, which was
piouant in its simplicity. The invitations
alone were formal, but they were part Of the
frolic. They read, LADY Clementina Cleverly

were literally limited to coffee and the plain
est cakes The guests came in their country
clothes; but the company consisted OF some
of the highest nobility of England. They
laughed at each other, and even poked fun
at their hostess because OF her entertain
ment; but were all the better, doubtless, for
their abstinence.
In fact, incredulous people used to say that
if these high livers would submit to the same
rules at home; would rise before the sun and
90 to bed at o; would live simply and regu-
iarly in all things, take exercise, spend half
of every day in the open air-they would get
well at home without either spring or bath.
However, the novelty, the company, the for
eign look of things to many-an contribute
to make the asceticism easier, and they think
they are benefited
The doctors resort to a bit Of empiricisIi, il
seemed to me. You are told that you never
perceive the good effect Of the cure until after
YOU have left; thus, however little result is
apparent, you are not to be justified in grum-
bling. Then, too, you are often sent to an
other spring, or perhaps to make tour in
the exhilarating air and wondrous scenery Of
Tyrol or the further Alps, and then yeu are
almost certain to get wen-Adam BSaeau's

Sending Money by Mail.

The proper way to send money by mail is
by a money order or registered letter. Sent
in any other way it is almost certain that it
will be stolen, the letter containing 1t de-
stroyed and no trace of it ever found. The
postal service is not responsible for these
losses, and steadily endeavors to discourage
sending money in ordinary letters. The more
is sent, the greater is the temptation to poorly
paid postal clerks TO steal letters and destroy
them. The expert thief can usually tell
whether o letter contains money by its
feeling, but II he opens letter to steal he
has to destroy It, whether it contains money
or not; so that those who persist in sending
loose bills in letters not merely run their own
risk, but they tempt men who might other.
wise remain honest, and they expose pilfer'
ing and loss the letters Of sensible people who
do not send money in that way.-C. A. Co

about it; she never stayed at the house longer

reason-she was married. left the place in

TRAITOR THOUGHTS

cannot trial my memory, for its day,
That only happy hours Of youth could trace,
Has from p path OF pain TO turn away,
In treTnbling, lest see the well known face;
Yet, seeing, can bid my memory rove,
Or turn ms souls eyes from the face love:
I dare not dream, lest should hear again
The accents clear that told my veal or woe,
The low toned voice whose treasured words have
been
SO tenderly, where but my heart can know.
/ dare not dream, lest It should seem too fair;
The bitter truth, q thing too like despair.
Ny thoughts are traitors. should feel its clasp.
That dear right hand that was so brave and
true,
That held q strength within its earnest clasp,
Making ones weariest hours bloom anew;
The traitor thoughts to bring it back to me,
The peace, the unshadowed love that cannot be.

An hout before the shooting occurred
President Greyy received an autograph
letter from Emperor William declaring
that the peace Of Europe was the chief
sclici,ude of his declining years.
PARIS, September 29.-lt is officially
stated that NJ. Flonrens, Minister Of
Foreign Affairs, conyersing with Count
Won Munster, the German Ambas-
sldor here, on the subject Of
the Notwithstanding incident, pointed
out-first that not a single stain
OF blood had been found on Ger
nan soil second, that kaufman after
firing fled, showing that he was con
scious Of having committed an illegal
act. The French official inquiry, there
lore, argued NJ. tlourens, proved that
tie Conan agent knowingly commit
ted an offence.
Count Won Munster replied that Che
German inquiry had not been con.
Guided and he could give no pledge as
10 what would be done.
II. Flourens hopes to receive to-mor-
row dispatch notifying him of the de-
ci,ion of the German Government in
the matter. The French Government
will insist upon the punishment of Kaui-
man. The question OF indemnity is of
secondary importance. The procurator
Of Nancy will meet the German law
officers at the scene Of the incident for
the purpose of making joint examina

Origin of IIawick and DuceIeuch.


Havick means the entrenched dwell
inc-place, from hGg0, place fenced
in, and ujc, Il dwelling. The origin of
the name Of Buccleuch salso traced.
Tradition states that while King Ken
meth was hunting at the Cacra-Cross,
in Ettrick, buck, which was hard run,
got into a deep rayine, and turning at
hay, n young man rushed forward !;
selling the deer by the horns he swung
it on his back, and carried his prize to
the King, who was so delighted with
his strength and courage that he made
him ranger OF Ettrick Forest. The
glen of cleuch in which this incident
occurred was named Buckcleuch ia
commemoration Of the incident, and
the hero OF the story. whose name was
John Scott, was afterwards known as
John Scott of Buccleuch. The first
of the family whom there is any anthem
tic record was Richard Scott, who in
the time of Alexander III. was made
ranger Of Ettrick Forest, and received
grant of the lands of Bankilburn and
Buccleuch. 1t is possible some Incl
dent connected with this appointment
formed the basis of the tradition. The
Scots of Buccleuch, by their bravery
and proves in ancient unsettled times,
gradually attained great power and dis
tinction and added largely to their
estates.
